“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

The real reason FJB was going to see the Pope! Who’s next Klaus Schwab, Kim Jung Un, and Xi?
BREAKING: President Biden Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction to His Holiness Pope Francis
Today, President Biden spoke with His Holiness Pope Francis and named him as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation’s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors. This is the only time that President Biden has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction.
Citation:
As a young man, Jorge Bergoglio sought a career in science before faith led him to a life with the Jesuits. For decades, he served the voiceless and vulnerable across Argentina. As Pope Francis, his mission of serving the poor has never ceased. A loving pastor, he joyfully answers children’s questions about God. A challenging teacher, he commands us to fight for peace and protect the planet. A welcoming leader, he reaches out to different faiths. The first pope from the Southern Hemisphere, Pope Francis is unlike any who came before. Above all, he is the People’s Pope – a light of faith, hope, and love that shines brightly across the world.
Wonder how much they are paying FJB for those medals?
Par for the course to award other than a US citizen and to consider his office higher than the pope’s.
I’m not Catholic but who can miss the irony?
The history books are going to title Bergoglio
Francis the Apostate.

Would be nice if someone asked him about that fact. I’d love to hear his answer.

Why were there no surveillance cameras?????
So which of the many foreign terrorist groups did this supply…
…or was it a supply operation for a government terrorist group planning a false flag?
Or is the stuff getting shipped to Ukraine? (The Municipal DC corporation is bankrupt.)
I feel Really. Bad. for all those people who have lost homes in the CA. fires.
But, this one’s kind of a trade off, considering how many properties BLM burned down in their hey day.
There. I said it.
Plus the mansions owned by Ukrainians whose money came from western sources that intended to support the conflict.
Jack Smith resigns from DOJ.
The dog has done the last of his peeing. Now, he like the others is running for the door. Hoping for a “Presidential Pardon.” Hoping to never be held accountable for the monumental crime that he has done.
How does an illegitimate appointee resign?
or…is he “out of country” ???
I found a receipt from Walmart in an old book I got today at a second hand shop, it’s dated 1-24-09
The Great Value 75 watt bulbs were .74c
Can of Folgers coffee was $3.22
2 liter Pepsi was $1.00
The Hershey Giantbar was $1.97
A Holmes electric heater was $17.00
Sheesh.. I bought some of those new lightbulbs last week that they make us use now and they were about $14.00 for what is now the replacement for those same .74 cent bulbs.
I guess we don’t get how bad we’re being screwed over until we find stuff like this.
It costs lots of money to make all those bombs and stuff that get blown to bits in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza.
And when you form and take part in an assembly line of wars, well you get to create new ways to blow things apart.
Think of it this way – you pay $3 more today for that head of Romain lettuce you had for dinner and in that way your sending the latest kind of bullet that kills people more effectively. You’re just doing your part in defeating the enemies by eating dinner.
That’s enough to make me skip dinner Johnny.
Or grow your own romaine.. indoors hydroponically at this point..
The Folgers is now $14 or more, depending upon where one shops. 4x+
That’s because one dollar buys what used to cost 3 cents in 1913. the only difference is the Federal Reserve.
And constant wars
I keep hoping that PT will reinstate the manufacture and sale of the old incandescent bulbs. I have a stash I bought before they were banned, but am concerned I will eventually run out. The light is so much nicer from them. And I’ve read that LED lights can cause headaches and other side effects.
You can still buy incandescent light bulbs!

Wow, great find, Johnny! Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, I live in NE Ohio, and there are no Safeways anywhere near here. But I’ll see if I can make a connection somehow. Good to know someone still sells them. (I thought it was illegal because they banned the making and selling of them…)
Just heard on News Nation that Biden has promised that the Fed. Gov. will pay for re-building *everything* that CA. has lost to these fires.
If that actually does happen, it better not happen until State of CA. has agreed to do whatever it needs to do to keep it’s Reservoirs FULL, clear deadwood from its forests, etc etc.
And all of that needs to be inspected by the Feds on a regular basis to make sure they’re not slacking off and cutting corners.
Complete BS
So how many more states will burn down now?
North Carolina and East Tennessee plus some small parts of Virginia and South Carolina. Predominately mid to low income.
The areas in LA – predominately top 1% or higher.
The Appalachians – predominately conservative and Christian, believers in the founding ideals of the nation.
LA – predominately progressive leftists and atheists or satanists, believers in DEI, trans, and pedos.
What about Hawaii, North Carolina and Florida? Texas? Why should CA get billions AGAIN that they will use however they want to with no accountability. Well, PTrump is coming very soon. Maybe he will put some brakes on the money CA gobbles up all the time.
East Palestine too.
California might just be promised a trillion dollars in disaster relief so President Trump will have to put a stop to it and then Californians blame President Trump for their hard times and vote Democrat all over again?
The US is the largest taxpayer in Russia, according to Newsweek. In 2023, US companies paid $1.2 billion in corporate taxes. Still operating in Russia are 123 large US companies such as Philip Morris, PepsiCo, Proctor & Gamble.
Good! I’m glad we support Russia. Russia is not my enemy!
OK, just guessing the legal cost numbers going after President Trump:
Jack Smith $50M
two NY trials $40M
Atlanta trial $15M
So that’s about $105M going after President Trump-Hmmmm?
And that doesn’t include the $40 Million Mueller [pretend] investigation.
Stopping President Trump from finally closing our border is worth everything to them. If it weren’t for all the already documented malfeasances I would think they burned down southern CA to defend against Trump’s enforcing our immigration laws.
Right! So close to $150M
Has anyone here seen this yet?

“Hobbyist Builds AI-Assisted Rifle Robot Using ChatGPT: “We’re under attack from the front left and front right. Respond accordingly” | ZME Science The viral video sparked ethical debates about the broader implications of AI weapons.
One of the wildest videos to go viral on TikTok recently caught everyone by surprise. It featured an engineer who built his own AI-assisted robot that aims and shoots a rifle using voice commands. “ChatGPT, we’re under attack from the front left and front right. Respond accordingly,” the inventor, known only by his online moniker STS 3D, declares calmly. The rifle, mounted on a robotic arm, pivots instantly. It swivels left, then right, firing a barrage of blanks precisely as instructed. A voice, eerily polite, responds: “If you need any further assistance, just let me know.”
This wasn’t the machine’s only unsettling trick. In another segment of the video, the engineer straddles the rifle-mounted system, riding it like a mechanical bull as it swivels, evoking imagery straight out of Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick’s Cold War satire. The absurdity of the scene belies its gravity: this isn’t a government lab or military base. It’s a hobbyist project built in a garage.”

Artificial Intelligence is beyond dangerous, especially in the hands of government.

Dystopia Much?
Back in January, 2024, OpenAI removed a direct ban in their usage policy on “activity that has high risk of physical harm” which specifically included “military and warfare” and “weapons development.” Just one week later, the company announced a cybersecurity partnership with the Pentagon.
Just recently, in December 2024, OpenAI said it entered a partnership with California-based weapons company, Anduril, to produce AI weapons. Defense contractor Anduril Industries makes AI-powered drones, missiles, and surveillance systems. In the same month that it announced its partnership with OpenAI, Anduril secured a $1 billion, three-year contract with the Pentagon to develop battlefield AI tools. Among their creations is the Sentry system, already in use to monitor borders and coastlines worldwide.
Now, the two companies are developing an AI system designed to share real-time battlefield data and make split-second decisions—decisions that could include life or death. Critics argue that these moves contradict OpenAI’s original mission to develop AI that “benefits humanity.” For now, the company maintains that its work in defense is aligned with its commitment to safety and ethical standards.
If a hobbyist can make lethal AI-systems, imagine what professional defense contractors can achieve. From claims of drones equipped with AI targeting systems in Ukraine to the Israeli Defence Force developing the ‘Lavendar’ and ‘Gospel’ AI systems to identify targets in Gaza, the use of AI in conflict is already a reality. The scariest variety are fully autonomous weapons systems (AWS) with the capacity to identify, select and target humans all by themselves. Alexander Schallenberg, Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, described the increasing risks of AI in weapons as “this generation’s Oppenheimer moment,” referring to the development and subsequent use of the atomic bomb in the 1940s.

What did “Ike” have to say about this “race forward to lucrative government contracts?
The supposed “technology” might have changed, but the fundamental “purpose” has not. We simply want to fleece the Government out of more money … calculating that our “war toys” will. never actually be used.
Newsome and the fires…
Everybody in LA is trying to buy the same house!
A viewer wrote the following in the comments section: “A retired fire chief from the LA area where there are the fires said THE SAME THING happened exactly 30 years ago with THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS: NOTHING HAS CHANGED in the last 30 years.”
Now I’m off to verify that. Wouldn’t that have made headlines everywhere?
End child trafficking.

Palisades Fire Community Meeting is Live on News Nation now.
Hope they take questions and comments from the community.
“All Things Considered” attempts to explain how DEI is not adversely affecting fire fighting efforts At. All. and how the Right has it all wrong.
I wonder how many people still listen to this sh*t and take it seriously?
